The tender, which is of the 8-wheel type, is fitted with a U-shaped tank having a water capacity of 4,000 Imp. gals, and space for 10 English tons of coal. The tender trucks are of the equalized pedestal type. Steam brakes are applied to all the drivers, and in addition the engine is equipped with a vacuum brake which acts on the tender wheels and is provided with a connection for the train line.
